Automation & Control with NodeRED & Raspberry Pi Intro (Free)

Description

NodeRED and the Raspberry Pi have a lot of potential as a low cost automation and control processor. But getting started can be confusing. After all, you’ll need to know a bit about Embedded Linux, how to write code, deal with control API’s and handle different communication protocols.

This course is a single source of information to learn exactly how to approach each of these topics with real-world examples.

Why use a Raspberry Pi?

• Price: Let’s face it, starting at $35, the price is right.
• Reliability: The technologies used in the Raspberry Pi work just fine for 24/7 operation.
• Open Source: Stay flexible and agile and say goodbye to the gatekeepers.
• HDMI: Do more than just control. Show a custom website in kiosk mode or use it as a media player and show 1080p video.

Most of the concepts in this course can also be applied to other mini-computers like the BeagleBone.

Why NodeRED?

NodeRED is a drag and drop programming interface that…

• Is easy to use.
• Gets you early wins by controlling devices and getting results quickly.
• Makes learning Javascript approachable for new programmers.
• Gives you a great foundation to move on to more complex programming environments.

Automation & Control with NodeRED & Raspberry Pi Intro Class shows you step-by-step how to get started with the Raspberry Pi to monitor, automate and control Audio Visual Systems, Smart Homes and more.
